What if the thing holding your brand back isn’t your strategy… but your relationship with being seen?

In this episode, I’m joined by Paul Culshaw for an honest, practical conversation about personal branding, visibility, and the quiet resistance many business owners feel around self-promotion even when they know it’s essential for growth.

We explore why visibility isn’t just about “doing more content,” but about who you believe you’re allowed to be in public. From blogging and guest speaking to stepping onto bigger stages, this episode is about building confidence, credibility, and clarity, without becoming someone you’re not.

• Why visibility is a personal growth journey (not just a marketing one)

• The hidden beliefs that make self-promotion feel awkward, heavy, or “not you”

• How guest speaking builds authority faster than endless posting

• Why blogging still matters, especially if you want to be known for your thinking

• How to choose visibility channels that actually suit your strengths

Listen in for grounded advice, honest reflection, and visibility strategies that feel aligned, not forced.

I had a great chat with the lovely Donna Henley as we unwrapped what really drives us as business owners beyond the pep talks and productivity hacks.

We talk about the messy, beautiful balance between motivation, self-belief, and authenticity, and how our emotions, stories, and even music shape the way we show up in business.

Tune in to hear Donna’s refreshing take on:

Why self-doubt creeps in (and how it silently impacts your growth) How music influences mood, creativity, and motivation (including a powerful John Mayer quote on self-doubt) The role of storytelling in building genuine connections with your audience Why self-acceptance and compassion are your most underrated business strategies A break from the norm on social media engagement and what really matters

This conversation is an honest reminder that success isn’t just about doing more, it’s about being more you.

Join us and feel inspired, seen, and reminded that your story, your quirks, and your emotions are your business’s greatest assets because no-one else can be YOU!
